Colleton County School District will continue to operate the 15 remaining bus delivery routes through the month of June. As the district will be closed on Fridays through the months of June and July, we will deliver two sets of breakfast and lunch meals on Thursdays.

As the school district has been instructed to provide learning opportunities for our students through the end of the school year, Colleton County School District have released additional K-8 distance learning materials on our websites for May 11 through May 29. Parents who prefer a pencil-and-paper version of this new material can contact their school’s principal to arrange a time to pick up physical copies.

When students complete these materials, the packets will not have to be turned back in to our schools. It is highly recommended that students complete the activities listed in the distance learning packets. These materials are designed to assist our students in being prepared to resume learning when they return to their classes during the 2020-2021 school year. As a reminder, teachers at all of our schools are available daily to provide feedback and assistance with our distance learning materials.

You can download the new distance learning materials using the links below:

On Wednesday, April 22, Governor Henry McMaster announced his plan to close all public schools in South Carolina for the remainder of the school year due to the COVID-19 virus. All Colleton County schools will be closed to students until the start of the next school year, currently scheduled for August 17.

CCSD will continue to provide meal deliveries services, and we will update our communities on any changes to our meal schedules through multiple information channels.

Due to the closure of school by Governor Henry McMaster, changes in the grading periods have been made.

On Tuesday, October 1, 2019, the South Carolina Department of Education released school report cards for elementary, middle, and high schools throughout the state. The Every Student Succeeds Act of 2015 overhauled the state’s school accountability system by using seven metrics to measure school performance: standardized test scores, improvement of student performance on standardized test scores from prior years, the progress of English Learners measured by a standardized test, and student responses on a survey. Previous accountability systems only measured student achievement to calculate the overall school rating.
